While i won't aim to provide a full and perfect definition: a phone is a computing device with a generic interface and the goal of being a platform for a wide variety of software aimed at many different goals: 1-on-1 communication (calling), messaging, social networks, document exchange, note taking, web browsing, photography & photo editing, video & video editing, inventory, physical access control, ...
Consoles have a game-targeted interface and a singular focus on games.

I don't know if everything that has been labeled a console matches this description. Some "consoles" have indeed been stretching any meaningful distinction to or even past the breaking point.

But I will unashamedly go "no true Scotsman" on those: If a machine has a secondary (tertiary, quadrutionary, ...) specific focus with dedicated interface, it might still be a console. Illustration: a console that also can play dvd's ia a dedicated dvd interface. However, if the interface is generic and just waiting for the right app, not so much.

The point is not "can it do general-purpose computing" - a lot of devices can be made to run some linux. The pertinent question: is it made to support general-purpose computing out of the box? Things that I would call game consoles aren't - they're platforms for gaming.
I think this is classic "you only hear the loudest people" type of thing. Everyone somewhere in the middle with more nuanced views will get piled on by the extremes from all sides. That does not mean those extremes are the only thing that exists, or represent the majority of people with views on the matter.

Extreme voices tend to drown out everyone else. I mean, what type of reasonable person has the energy and will to involve themselves in this toxic quagmire, right? The type of people willing to do so are strongly biased to people with Very Strong Views.

Trying to organise a protest around unfocused nuanced views is hard. "Free Palestine" is easy and straight-forward. "Hamas is wrong, but Israel should offer a solution for the people of Gaza that does not involve a de-facto concentration camp under military control" doesn't really fit on a billboard.

And lets also be realistic: yes, "both sides" have blame, but "both sides have blame" does not mean "both sides are equivalent". The people of Gaza are by and large powerless, and have been for a long time. The initiative for any solution really rests primarily on the Israeli side, who have been controlling much of life in Gaza for a long time now. The situation in Gaza and that Israel has never seriously offered any solution is frankly just disgraceful, and could only have ended in violence one way or the other sooner or later.
Honestly I hate the process of writing resumes, too, and having to tailor an application creatively to a specific job to even be able get an initial interview is draining and my time would be better suited.

I am hoping for a world where more automation leads to better match making so that the right candidate can more quickly be found for the right role.

If we are at a point where there are 3k applicants for a job because writing the application is easy, that might suck for recruiters having to filter those, but for the company hiring I'd imagine it's a benefit that there is a larger flow of candidates that they can choose from.
Now the filtering just needs to get better.
"This is, of course, understandable as an initial reaction, but my problem is that all the DEI shenanigans never get past that initial surface-level nonsense"

It is literally all only about the surface-level - the surface of the body, the skin color. Defining diversity by this single trait is the opposite of diversity in my opinion, which your story shows quite well.
We did not, but using AI to generate or reformat answers is a big red flag to me, because it shows that a) you do not have the experience you claim to have, and b) you do not have written communication skills or knowledge of English required to do your job.

Interview on Rust and energy efficient programming languages
I think the review bombing is stupid for many reasons.

Is the same game you were posting memes about yesterday, suddenly bad? No longer having fun?

Who do you think you are going to hurt between the less-than-30-person studio or the multinational behemoth?

Are you going to refund the game today then buy it again tomorrow when the change is reverted? You might be hurting the developer even more.

IMO Steam reviews should completely disappear as it's no longer an useful gaugfe of a game quality. Hell, I see people leave negative reviews to co-op games such as "I hAvE No fRiEnDs tO PlAy iT WiTh lOl." Are you stupid?

Besides, buy the game, test it and if you don't like refund it.

Are you saying the discovery of relativity happened because Einstein was reacting to some reward / stimulus in his environment? Galois’ discoveries were a stochastic parrot regurgitating stimulus from his life?

There are known faculties humans have that LLMs especially do not, such as actual memory, the ability to simulate the world independently via the imagination and structured thought, as well as facilities we don’t really understand but AIs definitely don’t have which are the source of our fundamental agency. We are absolutely able to create thought and reasoning without direct stimulus or as a response to something in the environment - and it’s frankly bizarre a human being can believe they’ve never done something as a reaction to their internal state rather than extrinsic.

LLMs literally can not “do” anything that isn’t predicated on their training set. This means, more or less, they can only interpolate within their populated vector space. The emergent properties are astounding and they absolutely demonstrate what appears to be some form of pseudo abductive reasoning which is powerful. I think it’s probably the most important advance of computing in the last 30 years. But people have confused a remarkable capability for a human like capability, and have simultaneously missed the importance of the advance as well as inexplicably diminished the remarkable capabilities of the human mind. It’s possible with more research we will bridge the gaps, and I’m not appealing to magic of the soul here.

But the human mind has a remarkable ability to reason, synthesize, extrapolate beyond their experience, and those are all things LLMs fundamentally - from a rigorous mathematical basis - can not do and will never do alone. Any thing that bridges that will need an ensemble of AI and classical computing techniques - and maybe LLMs will be a core part of a part of something even more amazing. But we aren’t there yet and I’ve not seen a roadmap that takes us there.
There's so many confounding variables that there's no way to know if that's true or not. People often speak English on the internet, despite it not being their first language. Not every one of these regions may have heard about this in the few days it was active and so may have not participated in the reviews. And some people will just suck it up and say oh well, despite being affected. Regardless of the number affected (which is not insignificant), it completely prevents them from using a product which they purchased, and that's simply not acceptable.

They are valid points; they do bad things with "diversity". I have seen such acknowledgements in Canada too sometimes, although I don't know if it is as bad as you describe there, because I do not know the details.

Better would be to actually avoid damaging the indigenous people and avoid damaging the land. What was done in the past is done, but you could avoid doing it again.

Saying stuff (especially stuff that doesn't even have proper good points and doesn't even help anything) is not a substitute for actually doing actually good things.

For many people, yes, it did in fact become bad, they had it taken away.

In this particular case the game studio asked for this action.
Boohoo. I’m happy any time people show some spine and principles, instead of sucking up to companies and brands. We should do it more, not less. Review bombing is a great start.

As someone who also smelled both, but is a natural city dweller, and despite not liking cars all that much - I'd chose car exhaust any day. I mean, a nondescript warm gas that doesn't smell like anything - unless you're inhaling it straight from the tailpipe, or your country is 50 years behind on automotive health standards - versus literally horse shit that just sits there (ugh) and stinks up the whole street in a 50+ meter radius, not to mention being a low-key biohazard (like all shit)? You'd seriously choose the latter?

The decision was made by MIT president Sally Kornbluth, with support from the school’s provost and six academic deans, a spokesperson told National Review on Sunday afternoon.

“My goals are to tap into the full scope of human talent, to bring the very best to MIT, and to make sure they thrive once here,” Kornbluth said in a statement provided to NR. “We can build an inclusive environment in many ways, but compelled statements impinge on freedom of expression, and they don’t work.”
The comments to that article (especially the one from dooglus) make a decent rebuttal to the idea that full nodes are a "terrible idea".

If you're convinced a block chain can scale to 50k transactions / sec and also remain decentralised and offer enough privacy, then keep at it, but I'm afraid I'm unconvinced.

Even if it were theoretically possible, the solution would likely be so complex, or based on a long chain of "hopefully unlikely" events that I wouldn't have enough confidence in it to store large amounts of value.

The slowness and simplicity of the Bitcoin network is what gives it robustness, and if I'm storing large amounts of money, that's what I want even if it means I can't buy a cup of coffee on the same network.

Toddlers are just learning the building blocks of language. You could make the same statement about any new skill. However, at some point, most humans gain the ability to take two concepts they have heard about before and create a third concept that they have never encountered. You can also get that with artificial neural networks, but it is fundamentally impossible with n-grams.

There's a ton of discrimination in where you shoot and with what.

Yea, the basic enemies on the easiest difficulty levels can just be shot with maximum pew pew. Then you encounter the bug that has a bullet proof headplate and it sticks it down to the ground like a shield when you start shooting - and your bullets will ricochet from it, possibly hitting your teammates if you just go hog wild on it.

Then there are the bigger enemies that have specific weak points - usually on their backs and sides, where you can't shoot but your teammates can when it focuses on you.

And the automatons shoot back, pretty accurately from far away.

The difficulty is pretty dynamic too, there are rules on how it works, but you very rarely get a break in the fighting and on higher difficulties running away is an important skill - you don't get points for shooting every enemy on the map, you just waste limited ammunition.

And then there is the plot with an actual human GM deciding what happens instead of some algorithm combined with nice immersion and a bonkers Starship Troopers-esque (the movie not the book) world.

That would be great! I'm imagining a hypothetical future where the city partners with local artists to produce bollards in disguise, each one unique and one of a kind piece of art.
We've had centuries of embankment works along the Thames¹, a fair bit concentrated around the areas you'd expect to find type like this². There must be a phenomenal amount of history that was purposely covered around there. Given the scale of the works you'd have to imagine there is a significant chunk of non-London history to be found there too(the scale of granite imports from Cornwall being an obvious example).

I'm less optimistic about the possibility of more large scale digs though, as the Golden Jubilee bridge history³ points out the area is an also an exciting zone for stumbling in to unexploded ordnance and you always seem to be within few metres of a tube line or Victorian sewer.

[It is the reason I love those plucky Crossrail⁴ developers who've felt the anger from the havoc they've left across London over the few past decades. We get incredible large scale engineering works to lust over, coupled with really wacky archaeological digs tagging along for the ride.]

If they hadn't forced it and instead would've gone like "Hey if you link a PSN account you get this special <Sony IP branded> item set and achievements" people would've done it willingly.

Not everyone, but a good amount. Then they could've gauged the percentage of non-PSN linked players and re-evaluate.

Pomodoro Technique Breaks
1. I never know what to _do_ during the breaks. Any suggestions?
2. When I code software, the break may come when I am just ever so close to figuring out a bug or coding the last line of a procedure. It is irritating to have to take a break and then remember in 5 or 15 minutes what did I mean to code just there.
Any thoughts on working with these two problems I have with Pomodoro? Maybe a different method?
Thanks!

I suspect you could get away with speaking out publicly on this if you said something like "DEI statements aren't actually advancing DEI" first. You need to break the link between the statements and the goal first, so that you don't look like you're attacking the goal.
I don’t think it’s that at all, it’s about controlling the narrative for your advantage. You might be lying as well, be doing horrible things and you don’t want the people you control to know that or to think that way.

> "I'm a consumer, but it doesn't affect MY bottom line, so it's not anti-consumer". Well, sure, I guess.

That's my point. If "anti-consumer" means "whatever inconveniences me personally", nothing is pro-consumer once you have more than a dozen customers.

https://xkcd.com/1172/

We can't really define economic philosophy in this fashion.

>That's how you appear tone deaf.

So when a broken clock shows the corect time and you point out how the clock is broke, you're "tone deaf"? Maybe others need to widen their perspectives instead of cherry-picking the times it happened to work in their favor.

As far as I'm concerned, if you support a review bomb now, you support it when people use it to pretotest pro/anti-Taiwan, or when bigots protest some LGBT game, or when some personal drama happens and fans retaliate. It's all "their opinion", right?

But I've seen dozens of these and gamers pretend they can pick and choose when to open and close pandora's box. They chose poorly.

> There are many things in gaming, and well everywhere else, that are indeed anti-consumer. I think it's why it may appear to you that the word is diluted.

It's diluted because no one can even define what "anti-consumer" means. That's how buzzwords become created. If you use the same word to define needing an account to play on an online server and literal fraud, you only dilute the latter meaning by comparing a trivial issue with a serious (and illegal) one.

>if the market views something anti-consumer as "acceptable", then those things would not cause a negative reaction of this scale.

Yeah, because the market is a really good arbiter of morals. So what I get out of this is that releasing a broken game without promised content isn't "abti-consumer" because enough people bought it anyway. Aka "becsuse it's still fun".

If you don't understand how the above can happen and why I'm frustrated by how fickle the market is, we won't see eye to eye on this issue. I know nothing here will change with Steam or review bombs or the next gaming drama. But if they can rant on a place that impacts user decisions, I can rant at the bottom of a social media post on a technical forum, one that used to have more nuanced discussions of such issues.
Tons of X11 infra will have to remain for a long time to support X11-only "legacy" apps that can't easily be updated. There's a long tail of that from games to scientific software to just unmaintained software that still works and is used.

The major bit will be when and if toolkits like GTK, Qt, SDL, etc. drop X11 support and applications update to X11-less versions. AFAIK there are no plans for that and is still years away (there was some talk about GTK 5, but nothing firm and no one even started work on GTK 5).

I also think Wayland will eventually replace all of X11, in the same way as IPv6 will eventually replace all of IPv4.
